Eminem’s daughter was once body-shamed for showing off her curves in a two-piece swimsuit. Yet, when she appeared in her father’s music video to announce her pregnancy, most of the comments were positive.

Eminem once revealed that he shared joint custody of his then-underage daughter, Hailie Jade, with his ex-wife. Hailie is now an adult, married, and expecting her first child. When she posted a swimsuit photo of herself in the past, netizens rushed to criticize her.

Eminem Is Proud of His Married Daughter

During an appearance on the Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast in 2020, Eminem revealed that Hailie Jade was 23 years old at the time. He confirmed that she had a boyfriend but was not yet a mother. The star said she was doing well and expressed pride in her.

She had also graduated from college. Besides Hailie, the star helped raise his niece, who was 26 at the time, and had another younger child who was 17.

Out of all his accomplishments, the thing he was most proud of was his ability and fortune to raise children.

Because his children didn’t struggle as much as he did, Eminem stated, “It’s definitely important to keep your kids grounded when there’s a situation like we have.” Hailie, now 28 after celebrating her birthday in December 2023, finally took a big step with her boyfriend.

Taking to Instagram in February 2023, Eminem’s daughter posted several images showing her engagement to her boyfriend, Evan McClintock.

Hailie Body-Shamed

In 2020, Hailie uploaded an Instagram picture of herself wearing a white swimsuit with a light blue bucket hat.

The image was a mirror selfie taken in a bathroom. She captioned the post, “ready for allllll the summer days 🌼.”

Some people who saw the photo didn’t quite approve, with one person claiming“your father gonna kill u,” while another asked, “Does your father know about this?”

Judging her swimsuit, another netizen said“That looks like old lady underwear…”

A fourth person questioned“DO YOU HAVE AWARENESS OF WHAT THIS REPRESENTS 2 THE WORLD?????”

Fortunately, the criticism didn’t deter her from continuing to use the social media platform. Here’s what we know about her upbringing.

The rapper continued, “She loves you, but she’s sick right now, and until she gets better, you’ve got Daddy. And I’m here.” During the first episode of Hailie’s Just a Little Shady podcast in 2022, the musician’s daughter opened up about her childhood.

She recalled traveling often on a tour bus as a child, going to Florida, California, and other places. Her father having a tour bus was something Hailie found normal, but she still attended a regular public school and didn’t realize anything was different.

Another thing she did with her father was attend the Detroit Pistons basketball games, where they would always eat hot dogs. Eminem’s daughter admitted to having good memories while attending elementary school.

In middle school, things changed for Hailie, and she began taking her studies very seriously. High school was the same, but unlike other teenagers, she didn’t drink alcohol or attend parties and was naive to that lifestyle.

She recalled attending her first and last high school football game in the freezing cold. All the other students were screaming and having a great time, and she couldn’t understand what she was missing.

A friend came up to her and spoke right in her face, and that’s when she realized the other children were drinking. Hailie was so appalled that she decided to leave right then and there, refusing to be associated with anyone who was drinking to avoid getting in trouble.

The rapper’s daughter never got in trouble or did anything wrong to avoid being a bad person. Instead, she worked hard and was accepted into a good college and today she’s married and expecting.
